Is this really even true? Surely ethtool supports people who rename
their ethX interfaces to something else, even ibX? For example on my
system I can do the following:
# ip link set eth1 name ib5
# ethtool ib5
Settings for ib5:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Full

Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)

So what's the problem exactly?
